Abstract

Since its assumption of jurisdiction for private sector lets on 1 December 2016, the First-tier Tribunal of the Housing and Property Chamber (the FTT) has dealt with over 1000 eviction cases in total. 1 Where an eviction order is made by the FTT under one of the legal regimes that governs private letting in Scotland, the landlord will regain possession of the let property from the tenants.
